Default Right voltage reducer for my light kit???

This is my first post as a new user. I recently bought a 2012 Precedent to bring along with us to the campgrounds as we travel. I am looking to install the light kit, and after some research, found out that I also need the bucket harness. Since I have the 8V setup, I will also be purchasing a voltage reducer. There are several plug and play reducers out there, but some are 16-12V and other are 48-12V. So my question is this: If I use the 16V reducer, will that create an imbalance on my battery pack by placing a heavier load on 2 of them? Is the 48V reducer recommended? I will probably be adding other accessories down the road such as stereo or power ports...

You need a 48 to 12 volt reducer.

Thanks Kashmir. With this reducer, you'll put the power wire for your light harness (blue wire) on the main positive battery post. The yellow bullet connector on the black ground wire will plug into the matching bullet connector behind battery number 6 (main negative) located near the controller mounting panel. Once all the connections are made, the reducer will turn on and off with the key and provide your lights with a clean 12V signal. It's super easy.

Kashmir,
That's simple enough but I like to add a MOSFET to the radio circuit to switch on the disco lights that use the indicators and stop lights. They are switchable to allow the lights to change with the rhythm of the music or the volume or both.
